Schofield & Sims Understanding English – Reading and Writing Poetry

Description

Understanding English?is a series of learning workbooks, each of which features explanations, teaching points, exercises, answers and ‘Now you try!’ extension activities to ensure that learning is secure.

Poetry expresses thoughts and feelings and describes things so vividly that you almost see them. This book looks closely at the features that make poetry so special, such as rhyme, rhythm, sound effects and imagery.

The Reading and Writing Poetry book includes: writing a poem with rhythm and understanding different types of rhyme; alliteration; similes; metaphors; personification; and nonsense poetry; haiku; shape poems; narrative poems.
